A severe drawback in using neutrons is the limited possibilities to access neutrons offered via nuclear research reactors or accelerator driven spallation sources, which are costly to build and to operate. To offer neutrons more easy accessible for science, training and industrial use is a challenge. The concept of a compact accelerator based neutron source is a new approach to tackle this challenge with the aim to bring neutrons to the users on demand and cost effective.Compact accelerator based neutron sources (CANS) produce neutrons by the nuclear reaction between a low energy proton beam and light elements as beryllium or lithium. Depending on the power of the accelerator and the number of target stations and instruments such a source can be equivalent to small and medium flux reactor or spallation based neutron sources. With the aim to design CANS to be operated at universities, research institutes or industry laboratories a conceptual design report has been developed at JCNS for a small neutron source named NOVA ERA (Neutrons Obtained Via Accelerator for Education and Research Activities). Such a neutron source can be built at low cost with low maintenance efforts and without nuclear licencing procedure as small accelerator facility. Main features of this new concept will be presented and discussed.}, month = {Jul}, date = {2018-07-17}, organization = {RANS2-HUNS2 Symposium, Tokyo (Japan), 17 Jul 2018 - 20 Jul 2018}, subtyp = {Invited}, cin = {JCNS (München) ; Jülich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS (München) ; JCNS-FRM-II / Neutronenstreuung ; JCNS-1 / JCNS-2}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218 / I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-1-20110106 / I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-2-20110106}, pnm = {6G15 - FRM II / MLZ (POF3-6G15) / 6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (POF3-623)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)6}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/851215}, }
